    Well i'm a little bit partial towards the 5 stud hubs. As they're stronger and not to mention, rim selection is cheaper and there is more of a range. because i am mostly likely going to go for a drilled and slotted on the front and just drilled on the rear. Just wondering if the V6 hubs will fit my driveshafts..

    Also, What do you think the chances are of the 2.3l gearbox fitting onto the 3.0l V6?

    Much modification needed? lol

    Pretty sure you can move the caliper over - might need some research on it though

    On the latter
    Pretty sure they're the same auto slush box
    BUT
    If you want to go manual
    YOU ARE GOING TO BE IN WORLD OF HURT
    No accord v6 in Aus came with manual - all auto
    You've gone through more accords than I changed underwear this month! - Sugz

    drilled rotors so it can crack..?

    Why would they crack?

    Think about it
    Drilling into metal with 100's of holes
    Will and can cause metal fatigue and failure - i'm not engineer but that's what i've came across
    Either go vented/solid

    I don't like solid rotors because of brake fade and heat issues.. And vented probably won't cut it for what i have planned for it..

    I'm sure there's a whole thread about slotted and vented rotors and heat dissapation
    It's here on ozhonda, someone should find it lol

    on the right track - it breakes down the crystalline structure instead of forming around the holes. If you want cast in holes it will cost a lot

    also there is no science proving that slots cool faster - it's all to do with teh vanes
    1. blanks contain more mass and are therefore able to hold more heat for a given temperature
    2. there is less surface for the friction to work on, so you'll get less brakeforce

    if you want to stop faster, you need the right temp range on the pads

    If that is the case. Then why are all high performance brake packages either drilled or slotted, or both? Clearly the engineers who design these parts are smarter than any of us..

    Because they can sell them for more and profit more due to their aesthetic factors

    There is a bit of truth to it such as the slots on the pads de-gassing pads that are fading, but that can only work so well, however not twice as well which is what slotted cost.

    have a read of these and see if it changes your opinion
